A dismal prospect of choppy seas
and heavy sweils confronted the
crews, but perhaps the disastrous re-
suits ahead were not feared by the
athletic fellows. It was splendid
race at the start, although even the
harbor was too rough for the light
and fragile craft. At the grand
stand the Honolulus were leading
and apparently gaining at every
stroke. This position continued un
til the leader was near the turning
stake, when the waves filled it and
in moment the oarsmen were strug-
Cling in the water. About the same
time the Iolani's boat met with a
similar accident. The Conquest's and
Mr.. Herbert's steam launches were
following the race and speedily made
for the derelict shells. Between them
they picked up the two crews, also
some of the oars and other appurten
ances. They abandoned the race
boats, but these were recovered by
Mr.. A. F. Cookies launch arriving
later. Both boats are ruined, that of |
the H Y. &. B. G. having been stove
in by the Conquest launch and the
other badly broken by the sea- 1t
appears that Herbert's launch had |
taken the Honolulu boat in tow, but
the line got entangled in the pro-
peller. The launch was drifting to-
ward the breakers, when native
went over the side and freed the pro
peller by cutting the line. The King |
was on board the Conquest launch.
It was after Mr.. Godfrey had picked |
up the native crew that he observed
the distress of the Honolulu boat.

Entries Hanakeoki," Robert Par
ker; Vandalia," U. S. F. s. Van
dalia.
1. Hanakeoki, time 30 m. IL sec.
2, Yandaia, 20 m. 26 sec,
This was a grand race all the
way round, to appearance at least.
When fairly started the natives had
slight lead, the Vandalians
seeming to be on the gain. How
ever the natives were not overtaken
and both boats made gallant finish.
The Vandalia crew entered protest |
to the judges, on the ground that the
Hanakeoki had used a fifteenth oar
to steer with. 1t appears the latter
unshipped her rudder before the turn
ing point, and a spare oar was en-
Pi0yed fol the purpose stated.
TIE Vandaiia boat had previously |
won a series of fourteen races without
a break, at various places on the North |
and South American coasts.
